Hmm, so how many continents were actually competing for this record?

Just curious.

sniper competitions are quite common here in the states which leads me to believe they have similar competitions around the world. One of the more
difficult challenges is the helicopter sniper challenge.

This particular video isnt as impressive or informative as the one I saw on discovery channels "Top Sniper" about helicopter snipers, so if anyone can
find said video please share!

Chances are that this is the longest kill shot ever made. However that doesn't destroy the possibility that someone hasn't made a
longer shot and just didn't brag about it. 1.5 Miles is quite a distance. The longest shot (So far) I've ever made that ended in a perfect kill was
last season when I was Moose hunting with my buddy. I used his .270 and made a 700m kill (Way out of my then comfort range) but I've gotten much
better since then. I'm going to try and hit 1000m once I get my .338 Lapua from Savage Arms though. I promise to record it for you all to watch!

I
know the .338 is barely breathing at 1000m but still, that's a pretty long shot for my current skill level.

FutureWeapons SHORTS: Barrett 416 Bullet
On Discovery Channel's series "Future Weapons," The Barrett 416 bullet is used for snipers achieving accuracy for distances over 2000 yards. The
bullet is smaller than the typical .50 caliber round, and can travel much faster.

The one on the sniper school was interesting, particularly the part about where trainees had to crawl four hundred yards through a trench filled with
water temperature at 45 degrees in the middle of the night.

I'll tell ya, the human body as a refined Weapon of Mass Destruction is eomthing to watch.
